About the Length of the Health Care Bill


Despite intense criticism of the size of the House health care bill -- 1,990 pages! -- a simple page count vastly overstates the actual length of bill.

For instance, a word analysis shows the bill is actually less than one-half of one percent of the entire U.S. Code. It's essentially as long as a Harry Potter novel.

1. "intense criticism"
..from the Right, as usual.. perhaps the Dems should think about passing out a CliffsNotes version for them?

2.  Better make it a comic book.
and even understanding that is probably asking a lot from the Repuke, drunken frat boy party crowd.

Maybe if every time the word NO is used it could be in a really big font?
